Shu Yu was taken aback; how could there still be a delivery mission during the New Year?
Then he thought about the New Year goods he wanted to send to the capital and couldn't help but touch his nose.
Gong Qiu said, "Because the New Year is imminent, most of the escorts at the agency have families and are unwilling to be apart from them. There are only a few who can take on the escort missions. Originally, my father just started at the escort agency, and such tasks shouldn't have fallen to him, but he volunteered, planning to make the trip."
Shu Yu asked curiously, "Why?"
Uncle Meng wasn't exactly without family, and this year was the first New Year after he and Meng Yunzheng had reunited. Without someone like Gong Qiu watching over them, it was a time for easy and carefree family gatherings.
Why would he choose to leave instead?
